VelaShape™ uses the elos™ combination of Bi-
Polar Radiofrequency (RF), Infrared Light

The combination of infrared and conducted RF
energies precisely heats the dermal and the
hypodermal tissue within the target treatment
area. The precise heating ensures a safe and
effective treatment with no downtime.

4. How does VelaShape™ work? (cont.)
Vacuum and specially designed rollers for the
mechanical massage smooth out the skin to
facilitate safe and efficient heat energy delivery.
The net result increases the metabolism of stored
energy, increases lymphatic drainage and reduces
or shrinks the size of the actual fat cells and fat
chambers.
